Writing Blog Assignment

TCKs are those kids that are a sub-culture, they also are Global Nomads. Who are TCKs? Certain group of people have led highly mobile lifes.

Firstly, TCKs are always moving from one country to another, so the only thing they have from their real culture is theirs passport that is very important to them, also they lose and gain of the fact that they grow up in another country of the one they were born. An example will be like if I born in Chile for 1 year , then go to USA for 3 years, then transfer to UK for 10 years, then go to Australia for 4 years, and finnally go back to Chile.

Secondly, TCKs frequently they ask the question "Who am I?", because they want to know their cultural identity, such as they haved lived in many countries all their lifes, like I said in my example.

In conclusion I feel bad for TCKs, because they can't have friends that are forever, because they will move to another country. I wouldnt like to be one of them.
